We had 3 days apart this week, Bene and I. It was too long really, though I had a marvellous time. And he was fine.
This morning was perfect, him waking up to find me in the bed I wasn’t in when he fell asleep last night. There was pure delight in his eyes. It was a long, slow morning of joyful milky cuddles and an extended lie in.
Then he spent his day like this.
A baking tray full of lentils and split peas, a small bowl, a coffee scoop and a tea spoon. We played for ages together then he played for hours along, pretending to cook, riding horses through it, driving tractors through it.
60p of pulses that are (remarkably!) very easy to sweep up and use again and hours of educational fun. Perfect.
There’s no place like home, as they say.
Bene is in nursery more than I’d choose just now. Depending on how the next few months go, I might soon be working outside the home.
I must remember to make the most of this time.
Lovely. Who needs expensive plastic to have fun!
Mine are a bit too big for that now though and am wondering what to do with all the rainbow rice.
Send it to me 😉
Is dead easy to made: cheap rice + food colouring gel + squirt of alcohol gel hand sanitiser to fix colour. Add all to a clear food storage bag and squidge until rice is lovely colour. Did a load for a recent rainbow fairy party and the girls loved it.
